FAQ

Is PRP safe?

Yes. PRP uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or foreign body response. It is one of the safest regenerative treatments available.

Can PRP help with hair loss?

Yes. Scalp PRP is an evidence-based treatment for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss). It stimulates dormant hair follicles and improves scalp health.
